From time to time i like to break them out...makes me feel just a little rebellious, and just a little bit dorky too...how about you?

All the time, but nobody freaks because I have on nylon sweatpants instead of shorts.

I wear them very often simply because I wear Nike BLACK shoes. They look great with black shoes. But with white shoes it is wrong, of course.

I've never worn black socks before. I might get a pair of nike black socks if I get black tennis shoes to match with it.

honestly depends. In the fall/winter, when I'm playing indoors, usually black. Rest of the time it's white.
Fashion? Since when have tennis players had a good fashion sense? |

I never wear black socks. Of course I don't have any black tennis shoes. I do have Silver Yonex and some gray adidas B2s but I still wear white socks with them.

In an old Sports Illustrated, a college basketball coach had to assemble a team under duress and a very tight deadline. The question put to him was "How did you make your personnel decisions so quickly?"
His answer: "The first thing I did was cut the guys wearing black socks." 'Nuff said. Jet |

I wear black socks in the gym, and I would wear them on the tennis court if I could ever find Thor Lo tennis socks or another tennis sock of similar thickness and comfort.

I bought a pair of Nike Dri-Fit black socks because they were on sale. They were kind of tight (fit wise). I don't think they're worth $8.00 retail. I kind of like them because it's something different. Anything you can do to distract your opponent...you should.

Phil,
Look for SmartWools. Best socks ever, IMHO. You can get those bad boys in black, blue, red, yellow, white, gray, whatever. I know you have played squash and rball and those sports produce more blisters on my feet than tennis ever has. No blisters since I switched to SmartWool 2 years ago. Good cushioning and moisture transfer, as well. Now hit those weights!!
